The latest one of our Camp Radio show, Music is a form of time-travel, is available to download or stream from our Soundcloud.
Early electronic music from Tod Dockstader, modern classical from Michael Nyman, kosmische techno from Manuel Göttsching, plus music from Blue Tapes and more.
This may potentially be the last episode, as I'm thinking of reformatting and rebranding the show as a more general Blue Tapes radio show, just playing more modern music that touches more directly on our world.
What do you think? Which would you prefer?

I’ve written before of my interest in shortwave radio, in the notes to the Quatermass CD. Also, in the notes to the Omniphony CD (which has my first ‘Aerial’ mix, Past Prelude in it), I mentioned ‘The Aerial Etudes’, which was my working title for what became the three CDs you have. And, at the end of an interview with Chris Cutler, the piece I mentioned was starting to work on at the time became ‘Aerial’.
When I was very young, people got most of their entertainment from radio. They called it ‘playing the radio’, as if it were a musical instrument.
That’s what I’ve tried to do in this piece.
The mixing of the work began in 1990. Before that, I’d been collecting the sound-materials from an old shortwave radio I had. I worked at night because that’s when the best reception occurs; during the day, short-wave sounds are limited and scarce - at least the kind I was listening for: the kind that occur when there are so many stations on the air, they over-ride each other and something strange emerges from the conflict.
Because shortwave AM radio is of the lowest possible fidelity (little better than a telephone), I recorded on ordinary audio-cassettes. It was also for economy, because I knew I’d have to do a lot of recording to capture the momentary events I was looking for. Periodically, I would transfer the best (most potentially useful) of these recordings to quarter inch tape, turning them into ‘hi-fi stereo’ as I did, with a variety of techniques.
Slowly, eventually, I made a library of 72 reels of tape and 35 DAT cassettes, for a total of about 90 hours of sound. Each track was given a descriptive name, and catalogued.
I found that many of the tracks, though they were ‘electronic’ by nature, sounded not unlike the sounds I’ve used before in my work: bells, voices, drums, strings, trains, water, wind… And, in the mixing, I went for that physical sound.
